md/bitmap: prevent bitmap_daemon_work running while initialising bitmap

2012-04-22T23:21:44+00:00

commit afbaa90b80b1ec66e5137cc3824746bfdf559b18 upstream.

If a bitmap is added while the array is active, it is possible
for bitmap_daemon_work to run while the bitmap is being
initialised.
This is particularly a problem if bitmap_daemon_work sees
bitmap->filemap as non-NULL before it has been filled in properly.
So hold bitmap_info.mutex while filling in ->filemap
to prevent problems.

This patch is suitable for any -stable kernel, though it might not
apply cleanly before about 3.1.

dm crypt: add missing error handling

2012-04-02T16:27:19+00:00

commit 72c6e7afc43e19f68a31dea204fc366624d6eee9 upstream.

Always set io->error to -EIO when an error is detected in dm-crypt.

There were cases where an error code would be set only if we finish
processing the last sector. If there were other encryption operations in
flight, the error would be ignored and bio would be returned with
success as if no error happened.

This bug is present in kcryptd_crypt_write_convert, kcryptd_crypt_read_convert
and kcryptd_async_done.

dm crypt: fix mempool deadlock

2012-04-02T16:27:19+00:00

commit aeb2deae2660a1773c83d3c6e9e6575daa3855d6 upstream.

This patch fixes a possible deadlock in dm-crypt's mempool use.

Currently, dm-crypt reserves a mempool of MIN_BIO_PAGES reserved pages.
It allocates first MIN_BIO_PAGES with non-failing allocation (the allocation
cannot fail and waits until the mempool is refilled). Further pages are
allocated with different gfp flags that allow failing.

Because allocations may be done in parallel, this code can deadlock. Example:
There are two processes, each tries to allocate MIN_BIO_PAGES and the processes
run simultaneously.
It may end up in a situation where each process allocates (MIN_BIO_PAGES / 2)
pages. The mempool is exhausted. Each process waits for more pages to be freed
to the mempool, which never happens.

To avoid this deadlock scenario, this patch changes the code so that only
the first page is allocated with non-failing gfp mask. Allocation of further
pages may fail.

md/raid1,raid10: avoid deadlock during resync/recovery.

2012-04-02T16:27:11+00:00

commit d6b42dcb995e6acd7cc276774e751ffc9f0ef4bf upstream.

If RAID1 or RAID10 is used under LVM or some other stacking
block device, it is possible to enter a deadlock during
resync or recovery.
This can happen if the upper level block device creates
two requests to the RAID1 or RAID10.  The first request gets
processed, blocks recovery and queue requests for underlying
requests in current->bio_list.  A resync request then starts
which will wait for those requests and block new IO.

But then the second request to the RAID1/10 will be attempted
and it cannot progress until the resync request completes,
which cannot progress until the underlying device requests complete,
which are on a queue behind that second request.

So allow that second request to proceed even though there is
a resync request about to start.

This is suitable for any -stable kernel.

md/bitmap: ensure to load bitmap when creating via sysfs.

2012-04-02T16:27:11+00:00

commit 4474ca42e2577563a919fd3ed782e2ec55bf11a2 upstream.

When commit 69e51b449d383e (md/bitmap:  separate out loading a bitmap...)
created bitmap_load, it missed calling it after bitmap_create when a
bitmap is created through the sysfs interface.
So if a bitmap is added this way, we don't allocate memory properly
and can crash.

This is suitable for any -stable release since 2.6.35.

commit 0ca93de9b789e0eb05e103f0c04de72df13da73a upstream.

Fix dm-raid flush support.

Both md and dm have support for flush, but the dm-raid target
forgot to set the flag to indicate that flushes should be
passed on.  (Important for data integrity e.g. with writeback cache
enabled.)

dm io: fix discard support

2012-03-12T17:33:01+00:00

commit 0c535e0d6f463365c29623350dbd91642363c39b upstream.

This patch fixes a crash by recognising discards in dm_io.

Currently dm_mirror can send REQ_DISCARD bios if running over a
discard-enabled device and without support in dm_io the system
crashes badly.

dm: do not forward ioctls from logical volumes to the underlying device

commit ec8013beddd717d1740cfefb1a9b900deef85462 upstream.

A logical volume can map to just part of underlying physical volume.
In this case, it must be treated like a partition.

md/raid5: fix bug that could result in reads from a failed device.

2011-12-21T20:57:42+00:00

commit 355840e7a7e56bb2834fd3b0da64da5465f8aeaa upstream.

commit a847627709b3402163d99f7c6fda4a77bcd6b51b in linux-3.0.9
attempted to backport this to 3.0 but only made one change were two
were necessary.  This add the second change.

This bug was introduced in 415e72d034c50520ddb7ff79e7d1792c1306f0c9
which was in 2.6.36.

There is a small window of time between when a device fails and when
it is removed from the array.  During this time we might still read
from it, but we won't write to it - so it is possible that we could
read stale data.

We didn't need the test of 'Faulty' before because the test on
In_sync is sufficient.  Since we started allowing reads from the early
part of non-In_sync devices we need a test on Faulty too.

This is suitable for any kernel from 2.6.36 onwards, though the patch
might need a bit of tweaking in 3.0 and earlier.
